If you could own any five motorcycles that are not Xj's...?

I'm sure its been done before, but i figured this would be fun.

If you could put any five motorcycles in your garage that are not Xj's what would you get?

here are mine in order.
note:I have never ridden any these, They are just bikes i think of as "cool"


1.1985 Yamaha RZ350 (would be a great companion to my maxim 550)

2.1992 Honda Nr750 (ultimate collector bike and very cool)

3.1943 BMW r75 w/sidecar( a piece of history and i'm sure people wouldn't mess with me with that .50 cal on the sidecar)

4.2009 Suzuki Hayabusa(ultimate speed rush)

5.Harley Davidson sportster XL1200R(Saturday cruise)

 

Re: If you could own any five motorcycles that are not Xj's.

1: 1976 Ducati 750SS

2: 1980 MKM Krauser

3: 1985 Yamaha RZ500

4: 1976 Moto Guzzi Lemans Mk1

5: 1989 Norton F1 Rotary


The machine gun on the R75 would most likely be 7.92 calibre

 

Re: If you could own any five motorcycles that are not Xj's.

H.D. XR 750, Honda gold wing, Kawasaki mach3 750, Kawasaki klr 650, Yamaha V max

 

Re: If you could own any five motorcycles that are not Xj's.

The machinegun on the beemer is actually a MG42 7.62 cal still used today by NATO(ex. Danish army) under the name MG62
1200 shots/minute originally fitted with telescopic sights for infantry use.

The BMW R71 was also made by the Sovjets as a cheaper copy witch i still made today with allmost no change to the original.

Actually Harley made kopies of it aswell under some kind of war license.

Suzuki RG500 Gamma.
(Although production bikes were well down on the power of the bikes tested my magazines of the time!)

Triumph Trident T160.

Yamaha RD400E, Drop bars + expansion chambers

Laverda Jota 180 degree crank model - an Orange one!

My XJ600 (When it was new) - Of course if I can afford 5 bikes in my garage, I could afford to make my bike like new - or ship it to Australia for Wizard to wave his magic wand at!

Great idea for a thread. Would suggest next time around we should pick the top 10 bikes!!!

Honda Super 90 (my first bike)
Triumph 650 Bonneville
Harley Sportster (I have a pair of mufflers to put on this just to prove it can be done!)

Any FJR1300
1975 XS650B
1979 XS750F

Any Airhead BMW R100RS

However I would not give up my XJ650 LK or my XJ900R for either of the two "off brands"! And i already have the three Yamahas.

 

Re: If you could own any five motorcycles that are not Xj's.

The original MG42 was 7.92, it wasn't made in 7.62 until well after WW2

 

Re: If you could own any five motorcycles that are not Xj's.

This will be pic heavy guys

Not really in order, more or less age

1. Vincet Black Lightning, baddest mofo in its day, it was a super bike, reaching speeds of 150 mph...



King Kenny Robert's TZ750, baddest dirt track bike ever




Honda CBX, whats not to love about a 6 cyl bike?



Any chopper with a Busa engine is better than a vtwin chopper


Last but not least, the new Vmax's

 

I had a '74 650 Ural back in the late 70's. Awsum sidecar rig. No speed,but what torque! If you coud get traction you could plow the south 40 with it!. Hmm they do make a 2 powered wheels version....
Just 5? lessee
New Ural 750 Gear up
'74 Norton JPS
'68 honda CB77
'80 Yammer XS 650 Special Oh wait I have one!
5 sp Triumph T140 bonneville
My then new '84 H-D Low Rider back that was stolen while I was stationed in Germany! Never got to ride that much...It was in the States at the time.

 

Re: If you could own any five motorcycles that are not Xj's.

I'm mostly into the old school stuff,so,in no particular order:

Early 80's Kaw GPZ 1100

Honda CB1100 F,iirc these were made in 1982 or 83 only

80's,not new, Yama V-Max

Honda V-65 Magna,which iirc were only made a couple years in the early 80's

New Harley Nightster or Iron,either will do the trick
